E-Day Not Enough As New Perspective, Playable Characters and History the Priority for Gears Fans

With the unexpected announcement of Gears of War: E-Day during the Xbox Games Showcase on 9th June 2024, the players’ anticipation for the game has risen. Players are now expecting many innovative features that will redefine the franchise.

The community speculates various things about the game, from characters to narratives to weapons. One of the recent speculations highlights the player’s love for one of the races in the series and they even want them to be the main characters instead of Marcus and Dom.

Players Want Different Main Characters in Gears of War: E-Day

With no set release date for Gears of War: E-Day, players are looking for any small details to feed their excitement for the series. Even though there have been many titles in the series over the years, players still love and adore Gears of War 3. Players feel that the recent one doesn’t have that much impact when thinking from the perspective of non-competitive.

Just knowing that E-Day is going to be a prequel that will take the players even before the story of the first game, 14 years before Emergence Day to be exact. This excites players as they get to learn more about the origin story of various characters and races they have come to love. Players are most excited about Locust as it will show a different perspective of the war.

The love for the locust race is so great that players are asking the developers, The Coalition to replace Marcus and Dom, the main characters with Raam and Skorge, leaders of Locust Hordes’ military. Reddit User, CT-4426, recently made the thread about this, and the community is actively discussing the topic and speculating on the race’s history.

This thread not only highlights the immersive nature of the game’s story but also shows that players are in dire need of a game that brings back what made Gears of War so great in the first place.

The Coalition Needs to Keep the Player Feedback in Mind

Gears of War has been one of the most beloved franchises in the gaming industry. However, recently the game has been facing issues with keeping the content fresh, failing to maintain the player’s engagement.

With the unexpected announcement of Gears of War: E-day, The Coalition has the opportunity to not only bring back the excitement in players but also set a new high in the franchise.

Players are even excited to play a game based on characters besides the main cast, showing how much the series’ story has connected with them. In the end, players are super excited to see where this prequel will take the franchise and if they get to learn more information about Locust society.
